Re: ftp not working
More fundamentally, why would I need to use passive mode? I have
looked around a bit, and it appears to be a work-around to be able to
ftp from behind a firewall. But I'm not behind a firewall, unless I
set something up terribly badly or I misunderstand. This is a
standalone debian box and I connect to the net, as I mentioned
earlier, using dip to connect with a cslip emulator, slirp, on the
SunOS box at sfsu.edu. Where in this chain is there likely something
like a firewall?
Once again, thanks.
